Anantara Hotels & Resorts, the experiential luxury brand of Minor Hotels, invites travellers to immerse themselves in the awe-inspiring art and architecture of the ancient Champa Kingdom in Quy Nhon and Hoi An with a curated five-day, four-night experience. From the Anantara Hoi An Resort and Anantara Quy Nhon Villas, guests can experience two famous Cham sites from the civilisation that played a vital role in Southeast Asia’s maritime trade networks and is known for its art, architecture and cultural heritage.

Guests start their journey through central Vietnam in the ancient town of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its preservation of Chinese shophouses, Japanese bridges and French colonial buildings. Staying along the Thu Bon River and less than a kilometre from Hoi An’s historic centre, guests will enjoy two nights at the 92-key Anantara Hoi An Resort. During their stay, guests will enjoy an excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of My Son, the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom.

Guests will explore this must-visit destination and take in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside over a picnic lunch. Back at the resort, they can try their hand at Viet Vo Dao, a martial arts native to the region, or relax at one of Vietnam’s best unexplored beaches.
